EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Brian Moser takes us on a journey to the heart of Colombia's Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, where we witness the remarkable engineering skills of the Arhuaco indigenous tribe. The image showcases the awe-inspiring Ika Ika bridge, an ingenious creation made entirely from timbers lashed together with sturdy vines. The bridge's unique V-shaped design is specifically crafted to accommodate loaded mules and oxen, allowing them to safely traverse this challenging terrain. It serves as a vital lifeline for transportation within this remote region of South America, connecting communities and facilitating trade. The presence of members from the Arhuaco tribe in traditional attire adds depth and cultural significance to this photograph. Their proud heritage is evident as they oversee the passage of goods across their masterful creation. Through this image, Moser captures not only a stunning landscape but also highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of indigenous communities in Latin America. It reminds us that despite modern advancements, ancient techniques can still hold immense value in solving practical challenges. This print invites viewers to appreciate both natural beauty and human ingenuity while shedding light on lesser-known aspects of Colombian culture.
